The Texans look like an absolute wagon, but with two huge new offensive pieces -- Joe Mixon and Stefon Diggs -- we have to reevaluate how we're taking all those Houston players in a fantasy football draft. The Titans have a re-made backfield *and* a re-made receiving corps. The Jags dumped their top two outside receivers. And the Colts have an all-world runner returning from shoulder surgery to be their starting quarterback. Today we'll preview training camps for the teams of AFC South, with...

What to do with Alvin Kamara? Is he a cooked workhorse who will drag down your fantasy football team? Or does he present a great buy-low opportunity for 2024? We'll discuss, and we'll preview training camps for the Buccaneers, Saints, Falcons and Panthers, also known as the teams of the NFC South. How could our opinions evolve in August on players like Drake London, Rashid Shaheed, Darnell Mooney, Jonathon Brooks and others? We'll talk talk about what we'll be paying attention to! Guest: Jeff...

The Raiders will give Zamir White unlimited volume! There's nobody for Justin Herbert to throw to! The Broncos are definitely spreading their backfield among four running backs! Actually, we're not sure that *any* of these things are true...and training camp stories may guide us to decide whether we can trust and believe in these players for our fantasy football teams. Today we'll break down squads of the AFC West, and describe what we will and won't be paying attention to -- and how our...

The Rams and Seahawks both feature backfields filled with young talent, and therefore they both present fantasy football questions. Is Kyren Williams really set to do it again, or will rookie Blake Corum eat into his workload? Will Ken Walker maintain a big lead over Zach Charbonnet or are they headed for a more even split? We can't tell you exact RB workloads, but we can talk about the kinds of stories we're interested in paying attention to in training camps in a few weeks. Today we'll talk...

Whoever winds up being the Bills' top receiver has a chance to be extremely valuable for fantasy football. But will we be able to tell who that is based on training-camp stories? We'll discuss that topic plus many others for teams of the AFC East. What will the Dolphins do with their backfield? Will we be able to discern whether the Jets and Aaron Rodgers can be vastly more competent on offense? Will we get enough info from Patriots training camp to find late-round value? We'll talk about...

Some massive fantasy stars play for the Cowboys and Eagles, and there are interesting fantasy football value picks available on the Giants and Commanders. Today we're previewing training camps for the teams of the NFC East, and discussing which stories we'll be paying attention to and which we'll try not to be swayed by once August arrives. Can the Cowboys make one of their running backs a fantasy star? Will the Eagles' new scheme lend Jalen Hurts more reliability? What if the Giants...

We'll be tracking huge stories on AFC North teams this August, and living day-by-day with beat reports that will influence fantasy football strategies. What will happen in the Bengals RB battle between Chase Brown and Zack Moss? Will Deshaun Watson's shoulder looked healed enough to seek value in the Browns' offense? Will Russell Wilson dispatch with Justin Fields and make Roman Wilson an interesting sleeper? Will Nick Chubb be able to do anything? We'll talk about all that and more, plus...

Thanks for coming back to the Little Podcast That Could! It's time to start discussing the storylines we *will* and *won't* be paying attention to once the hype starts flying in training camps. Today, we'll tackle the teams of the NFC North: Lions, Packers, Vikings and Bears. What happens if J.J. McCarthy isn't ready? Is Josh Jacobs destined to fail in Green Bay? What will it take to get us believing in Caleb Williams and/or D'Andre Swift? What would it mean if the Lions can find a deep...

Caleb Williams will certainly be the Bears' pick at #1 in the upcoming NFL Draft, but after that? It's anyone's guess! A whole lot of teams are in the market for a franchise quarterback, which means trades and controversial selections are almost certainly ahead. For fantasy football: which of the rising rookies could be usable right away? Which guys need to sit for a year? There's no absolute consensus on *any* of these players, but we can talk about the upside and downside of each guy and...
